Local Migration Expert Tackles Skills Shortage

Piotr Ferenc, managing director and registered migration agent at Airlie Beach’s Pacific Center, has spent over 20 years transitioning talented workers and long-distance loved ones to our shores.

From his office on Shute Harbour Road, Piotr helps onshore clients transition from temporary stays to permanent residency, and assists employers in finding effective and cost-efficient pathways to bring the talent they need into Australia

With two decades of experience, Piotr knows immigration law and visa process inside out; but the thing that sets his business apart is the team’s level of care.

According to Piotr, visa applications can be overwhelming at the best of times and feel like total minefields at the worst, with complex and often confusing instructions and requirements to navigate.

That’s why a migration agent’s support is so valuable, with many clients coming to Piotr too late — after their own missteps have led to rejected applications and significant financial losses.

“There is a great deal of technical detail behind the scenes that most people don’t see, along with many potential pitfalls. “The longer an agent has been in the business, the more of those traps they can foresee. That’s why experienced agents are so in demand — and why we are so busy.”

One of the most rewarding parts of the job, he says, is seeing people he helped settle in Australia years ago now thriving within their communities.

With a growing client network, Pacific Centre is expecting a strong year ahead, and working across all visa categories, the team can assist almost anyone planning to make Australia home.
